Deputies were called to Stallings Road off Old Easley Bridge Road in west Greenville County about a burglary and sexual assault Sunday.

The woman who lives in the home said a man she did not know broke in and held her boyfriend and her at gunpoint. She said the man ordered her boyfriend to get down on the ground, and then began to sexually assault her.

She said the man then fired a shot at her boyfriend and continued to assault her.

She said her boyfriend was able to get up and run out of the house, but the man chased after her boyfriend, firing at him several times, grazing him with one of the rounds.

The man then ran and got into a vehicle and fled, the woman said.

The boyfriend was treated at Greenville Memorial Hospital for a non-life-threatening injury.

Keyata King, who lives down the street, said the victim ran to her house begging for help.

"She was like she needed help, somebody just broke into her house and she was really shaken up and scared," said King.

Deputies have not provided a description of the alleged attacker.

Deputy Drew Pinciaro said, "We always just encourage people to be alert of their surroundings, and make sure you lock your doors. And if you have a security system, make sure you arm it."

Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME.
